How does any of your comments actually make sense. I am going to defend the Top Tier Players of FAF.
Let's be honest here, if the guys who are the BEST at the game are saying the game is stale and boring isn't that a bad sign? I mean sure FAF has tons of players come and go through but like not nearly enough to fund/sponsor a continuing evolve of meta and pro players appearing then retiring. Sure, we have that one guy who makes it to the big leagues.
I've started to agree with the majority of this thread more and more.
The Simple Demand is actual change to the game. That makes you come into the game and have to really think differently for each faction maybe in tiers or just entire layers of the game. Whether that be through adding new abilities, units, roles, etc so be it.
I don't think you will ruin FAF by adding ANY OF THESE ideas into the game. Balancing is always risky imo, I think that some big game changing balance would revive FAF in terms of getting higher levels players who are burned out, don't want to play because the balance is basically never changing & they don't want to play a thousand different maps.
I am fine with that. I think at the pro level there should be a finite amount of maps you play in a tourney.
I support Pro Level Players deciding the Balance for FAF because at the end of the day if the majority decided we'd be balancing around Setons & Dual Gap. That's why i fundamentally disagree with Evildrew's public elections of Balance Team. No that's never the way we should go and I know some of you know my stance has changed hugely as I used to be on that same page but Now i'm completely against and I think Pro Players should own the balance team and should gather to decide the balance patches.
I think It should be in favor of keeping competitive play interesting while also providing & using Supreme Commander's WIDE AND VAST Array of Stats, Abilities, Roles, Layers, Enhancements, ETC! To Make the game so diverse that every faction can have multiple different playstyles on water maps, land maps, etc is just so critical but I don't think I have an opinion in that topic. I'm simply not good enough at the game to decide that.
I simply believe that if you guys want change, as pros, you all get together and decide it but try not to change it so much that just blows lower level players minds.
